Electrical Power Affiliates Program (EPAP) Day

Burns & McDonnellSept. 11, 2013 marked the fourth annual Electrical Power Affiliates Program (EPAP) Day, inviting students and corporate members of EPAP to participate in a mini career day event, coordinated by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Students in electrical and computer engineering programs as well as other programs within the College of Engineering had a unique opportunity to visit with some of the most prominent companies in the power industry during a  1 ½ day event. Several activities were incorporated in EPAP Day to both benefit and introduce students to careers in the power industry. Specifically, students were given an opportunity to visit with fellow peers who have recently interned at one of the EPAP member companies, as well as engage in a networking pizza party the evening prior to EPAP Day. Activities during the course of EPAP Day included member booths for students to visit with company HR representatives and engineers, mock interviews with each company to gain practical experience in an interview situation, classroom visits and presentations, and an Early Engineer Career Panel where faculty, staff and students could learn first-hand the challenges facing both the power industry and recent graduates entering the field. With activities scheduled throughout the day, a free lunch was provided to all College of Engineering students. As a bonus to students, prizes were available to be won including a 32-inch TV, iPod Touch and a Kindle Fire.

“Students in the college of engineering showed great excitement and enthusiasm for EPAP day, as engineers from the electrical power industry not only visited classrooms but they also interacted with students at corporate displays throughout the day,” Schulz said.  “This helps students at all levels learn about careers in engineering and in particular electrical power industry careers.”

Corporate members of the Electrical Power Affiliates Program include Burns & McDonnell, KCPL, Omaha Public Power District and Westar at the Executive Level, and Fishnet Security, Sega Inc. and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories at the Member Level.
